Shoulder/chest/arm/and neck pain

About 6 months ago I started having chest pain. The pain felt like tenderness in and around my ribs, but right around my heart. Over time I was sent for two EKG's. A Physiotherapists that told me I had a rib out, a Chiropractor that said my ribs are fine and that it may be a nerve pressing into something...the pain is now in my shoulder and so severe. I feel it in my chest, shoulder, radiating down my left arm, my fingers go numb from time to time. Also the pain is now starting up my neck and along my jaw. I'm scared. Because all signs point to my heart and yet it feels like the wrong tests are being performed. And everyone can say get a new doctor but I have seen at least 5 different doctors and unless I have more of a clue in what directions to send them they just keep telling me to put ice on it. Today I have my arm in a sling because it's too hard to hold it up on its own. Please help to give me some insight on what to do. I'm desperate.

Hey-- I am having the same kinds of pain that you are experiencing. All signs do point to heart failure. I do suggest you go to the doctor asap and make them run the tests you want. If they won't--GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!
